Show "Living Mask" Portrait Painting. A new and startling departure in the art of portrait painting lias been evolved by Mine. Ivy de Verley (Mrs. Vesey Daverend), one of'Londnn's best known artists. Mine, de Verley calls this new work "a living mask." and indeed in-deed It has all the startling qualities of a real mask. This new method of bringing out facial characteristics has met a great deal of favor since it was first displayed dis-played by the artist. Even in a studio where there are any number of exceedingly ex-ceedingly attractive portrait paintings paint-ings this living mask immediately arrests ar-rests the eye. It gives one the impression im-pression that a face Is peering through dark curtains. |
